Corner Tree Café has cooked vegetarian food in Makati since 2009. After 15 years on Jupiter Street it moved to the second floor of 5782 Felipe Street in Poblacion, above El Chupacabra, up a steep flight of stairs. The menu travels, from a tofu-walnut burger to a North African vegetable stew, and dishes are labelled vegan or vegetarian, with many available vegan. The Arroz a la Cubana, made with minced tofu, is the most ordered dish, and the spinach and mushroom lasagna and the vegan nut roast are the other regulars.
